Kennedy Space Center - Old Complex Exploration

Seb and I were sort of on call during our time down at Kennedy Space Center. We had to jump if the scientists or the other Bioservants needed our help. So, we went and drove around KSC and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and explored old launch sites. Many of the buildings were falling apart and we could easily get into them and explore. Some really cool stuff. I love wandering around ruins. Certainly my favorite site was the old Complex 34 which was the site of the Apollo 1 fire in 1967.
